It is now less than a year until the new Disney Pixar movie Brave hits the big screen and today, Disney have released new stills of some of the movies characters we haven’t seen before.
Not sure of the film’s storyline?
Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In “Brave,” a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.
Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land:massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.
Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, “Brave” is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and the signature Pixar humor enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The film takes aim at cinemas on August 17, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
Thanks for the update but personally at the moment this project leaves me cold. Comes across as a Pixar version of Brave Heart and why when anyone needs a Scottish voice do people always jump at picking Billy Connelly? I think this comes across as too stereotypical and not very original or inventive. The graphical style of this so far also looks a bit Tim Burton. Nice to see Pixar trying new themes but not sure if this will be a big hit.
